Hi all, I recently purchased a Kindle Fire HDX 7, the price was too good to miss or (to be honest) I'd have bought another device; however I had it in my mind all-along that I'd flash it with another Android rom of some sort. I know by rights I should be scouring the WWW for answers on how to do this (and I have put in more hours than I really have to spare), but I have come up with nothing as the recent Fire OS 13.4.5.1 update seems to nullify Towelroot and Jcase that I found in the downloadable toolkit v.95. The first time I tried Jcase it seemed to work for a few minutes then seemed to undo itself??? I'm no pro with these things and could really use some helpful advice on how I can install a custom rom (preferably Cyanogenmod but am open to options). I hope somebody can help and thanks in advance.
Seeing as you have 4.5.1, there's really nothing you can do in terms of modding.
For now, you're stuck until someone discovers a new exploit.

Have been lurking on XDA for awhile now but as a new member am unable to post in developer area.
I just received my S4 Active this week.
Ordered it as I had read in the forum that there was an easy root for it, thanks to Geohot.
Of course that root works only if you are on Android 4.2
Unfortunately, my active arrived with factory installed 4.3
1. Tried Geohot anyway, no go.
2. Tried impactor, no go
3. Can't remember what it was. If I can find it I will update this
4. Tried Vroot, no go. I know, guess I was getting desperate
I'm not afraid of bricking this phone as I got it for free and can easily get another one.
Am willing to be the Official UN-Official guinea pig.
So, the question is, does anybody have any suggestions as to what else to try?
Would prefer to start trying the, relatively speaking, safest then progress from there.

Hi buddy, Thanks to "xda" I can Root my cellphone, was the same problem with me...... I Hope can help you with this link, Check it out, Works Very Good...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51273329&postcount=1
But Let me tell you something, My phone works good with " VROOT ", cause I tried to root with " Saferoot " but don't work...
I have a Lenovo vibe x2, i used to have windows-phones but since my last one got stolen i thought i would try androids out. Lenovo has now updated vibe X2 to the lollipop upgrade and i can't find a video or anything that will help me root my device.
Plus i have some questions about rooting an android :
1st. does it worth to do so ?
2nd. What will i get from rooting my phone
3rd. Is it dangerous cause my phone might bug and what will i need to do if that happens ?
I would really appreciate someone answering those questions and helping me with the root.
(a trustful guide and trustful files will do just great, i am computer experienced enough to make it through it's just some fears i need to "extinguish" )

I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUGYK0tarBE
Although the title says Android 5.0 Lollipop but we can clearly see throughout the video that the guy is running android 4.4.2. Anyway, I've never heard of/tried kingroot so I can't be sure if its legit or not but you can give it a try.
And as for your questions:
1. Root is NOT a necessity. You can use google search to know about it and decide yourself.
2. Again you can find this by a google search.
3. There is always a risk when you mod your phone. Incase you somehow manage to brick it by that simple tutorial, I guess your device would have some stock firmware online which you can download and reflash by some kind of flashtool to restore to stock.
Cheers,

Hello!
I'm using tablet Asus Zenpad C7.0. Model Number P01Y, Android version 5.0.2.
I want to root this device. I have tried two different ways: Kingo Root software and Dingdong but all failed.
Please everyone help me!
Thank you so much.
Regards.
Danny.
Please help me .
Thanks.
Actually really interested in the topic as well, using p01z, really want to root it to get rid of the bloat and possibly if there is a way get an ozon or cay. to run on it, spent several days on the net and have tried several methods including the above mentioned everything failed. Surprisingly there is no info on P01Z anywhere... like zenpad does not exist lol
Waiting for this also
Should we assume this just isn't going to happen? I don't know enough to figure it out myself.
same here just tried without luck
I have no experience at rooting at all, but I tried using the adb debugger and figured out a way to monitor the tablets' data.
Although it didn't help me, I'm still looking for a way to root my new ZenPad C7.0.
So this really isn't going to happen?
I'd really like to root this device but I'm having no luck in doing so..
I tried the method described here but with almost all combination, it still does not work. I get a fastboot remote unknown command.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
So my conclusion is that there is no known method exist now. Some of the hits one got from searching the internet are bluff and fake.
Any Luck? Asus ZenPad C 7.0 P01Z
Anyone in this thread alive? Or is it dead??
I recently purchased the Asus ZenPad C 7.0 P01Z and am looking to root. I tried "Kingo ROOT" and got no luck. Did a little bit of investigating and it looks like it may be the Bootloader that is preventing it from properly working. Trying to "Unlock the bootloader" and running again. Not sure if it will work, but figured id ask anyone here.....
Please let me know if anyone here has any luck.... I really need to get this thing to perform better. Overclocking is my goal... any other advice on how to improve performance is welcome as well! Feel free to message me here or email me (best way to reach me) at either:
[email protected]
and/or
[email protected]
Thanks everyone!!!

That guide is for both kingo root and ding dong which the OP lists as non fuctional. I have also tried king root (both PC & APK versions without success).
I believe this unit cannot be rooted anytime soon. Better to find another device that is rootable.
I've found that way but russian

Well, i don't really understand Russian but by the video what we can assume is that he's factory resetting it. In the second part of the video at least, we can see that he is using Kingroot to root the tablet.
Hey good news I've officially working on the root,
I will be using the sdk manual method.
I will also upload the files on XDA.
I will also need time to do this because I don't want to brick my tablet.
*MORE NEWS ABOUT THE ROOT WILL APPEAR ON XDA-DEVELOPER.COM*

Agreed, thanks so much Kibs. Really appreciated; I picked up this tab the other day in the sales and the battery life is pretty poor thanks to all of the crapware and such. I cannot wait to load up Titanium and remove it all! Thanks again buddy.

hi guys still trying to do everything I can
it is harder than I expected
I tried to use the method for ASUS Zen pad 8.0 because its root has been released.
But when I tried it wouldn't work
so wish me luck again
*IF YOU WANT TO JOIN IN THE FUN IM GOING TO UPLOAD THE ROOT METHOD WHICH IS USED FOR ZENPAD 8.0*
F.Y.I
THIS METHOD WON'T BRICK YOUR DEVICE
YOU CAN FIND THE INSTRUCTIONS ON GOOGLE FOR ROOTING ZENPAD 8.0
IF YOU DO THE METHOD YOUR DEVICE WILL GO TO BOOTLOADER MODE SO TO SWITCH TO NORMAL MODE
PRESS THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON AND POWER BUTTON TOGETHER. THE DEVICE WILL BOOT TO NORMAL MODE.
Kibs, did you manage to get into recovery? The triggers I am using does not seem to be working. "unknown oem command".
Also, I'm stuck on what is presumably Fastboot (green background with the Android). Pressing power down + power doesn't allow me to boot into normal mode.
Need help rooting SM-J327V Android 7.0 Thanks to all.
Will be glad to pay someone to get this done. Thanks.
This is all I found so far I'm about to try it right now
Not yet
You still can’t root sm-j327v. TWRP recovery is making a custom recovery for it soon so I’ll tell you when it is available:good::good::good:
Any news on this twrp recovery yet?
Need this done what's the word
Nothing yet. Time will tell
Bumping this thread in search of new activity. I know it's a Verizon phone (so unlocks are unlikely), but I'm hopeful anyway.
A friend bought a new phone (thank goodness) and asked if I wanted their old one (one of these). I said sure, might be fun to fiddle with. That's about my level of investment.

Recently considered rooting my kindle fire due to amazon no longer supporting it, I want to get lineage as version 14.1 is based on android 7, unfortunately all the guides I have been finding are discontinued and I am a total newbie to all of this, can anyone help me find a good working guide that a simple newbie can follow?
[Thor][Apollo] Unlocking bootloader with any firmware
Hello. At first, I did not invent anything new, just checked some my guess on a other motherboard. All thanks and credits to our great developers. As always, all at your own risk. It does not work on the Fire HDX 8.9 (Saturn)! All steps in this...

This guide is for the 3rd generation HDX 7 and 8.9. The hardware in them is entirely different than the regular HD models.

Easiest way is use 1-click unlock bootloader, it'll install TWRP. The rest of the procedure is easy.
